One time I knew a guy that was Turkish Cypriot and he'd never done his conscription, which I believe was compulsory back then, don't know if it still is - the problem was his family was back home, and he couldn't return otherwise they'd throw him in prison, I think eventually he bought his way out of it for something like £2k, although that don't seem a lot, so wonder if I've got the amount wrong.
He was signed before Alonso was put in charge. Real have been circling Trent like a vulture for a couple of years, so you gotta wonder whether Trent is the fullback Alonso would have wanted, had he been given a choice. Ironically, the full back Alonso had been using at Leverkusen has taken Trent's place at Liverpool, and Frimpong is a very different player from Trent. I have a feeling that Trent and Alonso might not see eye to eye in some cases this season.
If we get some nonsense away game to accommodate some bumpkins nowhere near any other team like Swansea again I’ll probably kill myself.
